Bart Beuten

Founder @ For The Better | Fighting thinking errors in a professional environment

St-Niklaas, Flemish Region, Belgium

About

Hi, I'm Bart, a passionate lover of progmetal music and an active cycling enthusiast who likes to roll up his sleeves on weekends for the renovation of his old cityhouse. Creativity, a can-do mentality, and perseverance are second nature to me – both in my personal life and my professional endeavors. I recently founded For The Better, a consulting boutique that helps businesses, organizations, and governments identify and eliminate cognitive biases, fallacies, noise, and groupthink from their judgement and decision-making processes. For The Betters combines in-depth knowledge of common (individual and collective) thinking errors with hands-on business experience to help your team identify structural mistakes and make better choices. The result? Sharper analyses, more accurate assessments, higher-quality decisions, and ultimately better business outcomes. Let’s connect and explore how we can create meaningful change together!
